[PATCH] Initialize Intel 3100 serial port I/O ranges

[Ed Swierk]

By default, the Intel 3100 LPC interface enables only I/O range 0x3f8
for both serial ports, making it challenging to use COM2 for the early
console.

This patch enables the traditional I/O ranges 0x3f8 for COM1 and 0x2f8 for COM2.

Why do you need COM2 for console output? Otherwise

Some boards connect one UART to an external serial port and the other
to a header or to nothing at all. Or, COM1 might be used for some
application while COM2 is just for debugging. Or, 2 is just someone's
lucky number :-)
